Default owners of CTR lights WITHOUT the city light installed.

those who have JDM CTR headlights, but dont have the city lights/socket installed yet.. do yours fog up when its cold outside since theres a hole there? did you plug it up with something?

I use the city lights but, I could see why it would fog if there was nothing in the whole. You could get a socket and slap it in there or use some "dum dum". It is black stick stuff they used to use for seating windshields. Or... if you never plan on using it, maybe some silicon.

you can get some light sockets at pepboys to plug them up. They are less then 5 each. Then you can get some bulbs for 2 bux and wire them up to work

I have the pepboys sockets and my lights havent fogged up yet.

Damn I'm looking for a set for my hatch. But all I see is 96-98. I need the 99-00 ctr lights. Do anybody know where to find some?

When I didn't have my city lights on, I just covered the hole w/ some electrical tape. It worked fine for me.

Do you know the part numbers you need for the Prelude parts?

it all depends on how u want them to work

all u need to do it 1 ground wire and 1 12V wire

i have mine hooked to the parking light, but i also don't use my abmer corners as parking lights any more, just the city lights

so to do that u splice into the parking light wire and use that as your 12V wire and gound the other terminal to the chasis, and just put a peice of black tape over the pin on the corner bulb that it uses for the parking lamps

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how does part #5 stay on the housing? Does it screw in? And would it be better to also get the rubber cover to help keep water out?
